Heading Hold Mode at speed feels erratic. Is it me or the helo?


Recommended Posts

Hi.

I've been enjoying the Kiowa so far, but one thing bugs me - the Heading Hold Mode. It's wonderful when I'm relatively slow (from hovering to 40 knots), but if I go to say 80 knots and engage HHM, it often would start oscillating in roll and swing the nose away from the initial heading.

The user manual doesn't say anything about engaging the HHM at speed. Is it a me problem, or is it something with the helo?

Cheers.

We were informed by SMEs that HHM in the Kiowa was somewhat unreliable IRL and so modelled it to be so in sim.

Hi Kinkkujuustovoileipä,

Thanks for the reply and understood. May I suggest adding a mention of this unreliability to the user manual?

Cheers.
